**Excesses in Digvirati and Bhogopabhog**
This seems to be related to the third light of Yoga Shastra, verse 96. Similarly, if the land beyond the specified limit of yojanas (units of distance) for a field or building is acquired, then keeping it secured in one's name for the duration of the rule is an infringement. Alternatively, the meaning of yojana can also be interpreted as "joining". From this perspective, if the number of houses and fields increases due to acquiring them from a debtor, as a gift, or by purchasing a neighbor's house or field, then combining two or more houses or fields together by breaking down the boundary walls, fences, or pillars in between and making them into one house or field, with the understanding that the fixed number has not increased and the vow has not been completely broken, still, the value of the house and field has increased. This is considered the fourth infringement, a form of "Bhangabhang" (partial violation).
Similarly, someone may have taken a vow for four months to not keep more than a certain amount of gold or silver. During this time, the king, pleased with them, gives them gold or silver as a reward. Now, seeing that keeping this gold or silver at home would violate their vow of not keeping more than a certain amount of gold or silver for those months, they decide to keep it at the place of a friend or acquaintance, thinking, "I will take it back when my vow period ends." In reality, even keeping it at another's place constitutes ownership, leading to a violation of the vow. However, since the intention is to keep the vow intact, it is considered a form of "Bhangabhang", the fifth infringement.
Therefore, a Shravak (Jain lay follower) who observes the limits of these five types of parigraha (attachment) should not violate them. Doing so leads to impurity in the vow. These infringements can also occur due to lack of understanding, transgression, etc., apart from the above-mentioned signs.
Thus, the description of the five infringements for each of the five Anuvratas (minor vows) is complete.
Now, the topic of infringements in Gunavratas (major vows) arises. Therefore, the infringements of the first Gunavrata, Digpariman (Digvirati), are explained.
**Verse 96:**
**Meaning:**
1. Forgetting the fixed limit.
2. 3. 4. Violation of the rule of movement in all ten directions, up, down, and sideways.
5. Increase in the area of the field.
These are the five infringements of the first Gunavrata.
**Explanation:**
The ancient teachers have explained the five infringements of Digvirati Vrata as follows:
1. **Smritibhramsha (forgetfulness):** This is the first infringement. It occurs when, while going to or at the time of reaching the fixed limit of movement in a particular direction, one forgets due to excessive anxiety or carelessness. For example, someone may have set a limit of 100 yojanas in the east direction, but they forget or become doubtful whether they have traveled 50 yojanas or 100 yojanas. Even with such doubt, if they go beyond 50 yojanas in that direction, they commit this infringement. Going beyond 100 yojanas would constitute a complete violation of the vow. Infringement and violation of the vow occur based on relativity and absoluteness, respectively. Therefore, one should remember the vow they have taken, as all religious practices are performed with awareness. This is the first infringement.
Flying upwards or climbing a mountain or tree peak is considered upward movement (Urdhvavaman). Going down into a basement, well, etc., is considered downward movement (Adhodisha). Movement in the east and other directions is considered sideways movement (Tiryaggaman). Violation of the fixed limit in these three directions constitutes the three infringements. Therefore, the sutra states that one should understand that violating the upward, downward, and sideways directions constitutes three infringements. These infringements can occur due to non-use (Anabhog) or transgression, etc. However, if one intentionally violates the limit, it constitutes a complete violation of the vow. A Shravak observes this vow in the following way: "I will not violate it myself..."
